Download As PDF : 'Growing Up' eBook Dr Sushil Madan 
Dr. Sushil Madan is a reputed pediatrician with more than 50 years experience in busy hospitals of New Delhi and Kolkata and in private practice. Added to this is her experience of teaching graduate and postgraduate medical students. This book is a distillate of her life long experience.
The book covers several important aspects regarding the health and well being of a school going child. These include, discussion on physiological, psychological, social and environmental influences as well as common illnesses, which afflicts school children. Dr. Madan has ably addressed all these concerns. Being a mother of two daughters and a number of grand children and having handled hundreds of adolescents in her vast clinical practice, Dr. Madan talks on the basis of her experience as well as vast study of literature. She has tackled all-important conditions that afflict school children in an average middle class home. The advice offered is scientific and pragmatic.
The adolescent years are of great importance in the lives of human beings. This is an age of emotional upheavals where several factors which involve awakening of several impulses, curiosity, desire to experiment with new pleasures, liberation from the protection of the parental cocoon, makes the child especially vulnerable to a variety of potentially hazardous situations. These may relate to their evolving physiology, emotional turmoil, social milieu, health events, sports activities, educational stresses or peer pressures. The book has discussed problems of this age group in considerable detail. Unfortunately adolescence is also a period when the child is most neglected. The parents start believing that he/she is old enough to know and the child though not knowing also behaves as if he knows everything and is confident in his/her beliefs, howsoever unsound they may be and whatever the source of their acquisition.
The subjects dealt in this book are neither taught nor talked about in the family or at school with the result, that street talk with peers becomes the fountainhead of knowledge for the curious young minds, sometimes with disastrous results. The books on the subject written by western authors are not relevant to our customs, culture or societal norms. Most of the previous books written by Indian authors on the subject of parenting deal with problems encountered in infancy and early childhood. Dr. Madan has dealt with the chapter on common illnesses without too much of technical jargon. She has described the symptoms and simple forms of treatment with drugs available on a chemists counter, including simple home remedies. For the disturbed mind, the advice on offer, is sagacious, avoids sermonizing, is non judgmental, provides reassurance and is, therefore, likely to be heeded.
This is a kind of book which parents of a school going child especially adolescents, teachers, psychologists, child counselors, health workers dealing with adolescents as well as adolescents will do well to read and refer to for authentic information and guidance. The book will serve as a source of sound knowledge. It is based on current medical thought in a field in which popular literature is scarce. It can be expected to serve a great need. I dare say, that those who read this book shall save themselves and their children, lots of worry and stress, which results from ignorance or misinformation.
